Crown Institute of Studies students securing jobs

Crown Institute of Studies students are securing jobs left,
right and centre!

In less than 24 hours, ten Crown
Institute of Studies students secured interviews with some
Aucklands leading businesses and several have secured jobs
before graduating!

This makes Crown's annual industry day
on the 21st of November a great success.

Function Staff,
one of the biggest companies who outsource event staff to
major organisations such as Ellerslie Convention Centre have
hired six Crown students after meeting with them at the
Industry Day.

Langham, STA Travel, Accor Hotels and
Contiki were only a few of the big names that
attended.

“We love working with Crown Institute of
Studies students and their graduates. I find they are work
ready and have all the knowledge and training so they can
step into any type of Hospitality role without further
training,” says Troy Huston owner of Function
Staff.

Showcase Hospitality, Base Backpackers, Contiki and
Accor have all expressed interest in Crown students and have
offered some interviews.

Industry Days are an excellent
opportunity for students to learn more about the different
organisations they could work for, learn about the different
career paths they could take and present themselves as
future employees.

Coinciding as it does with the movie Imitation Game which focusses on Alan Turing breaking the Enigma code in Hut 6 at Bletchley Park (“BP”), this book is likely to attract a wide readership. It deserves to do so, as it illustrates that BP was very much more than Turing and his colleagues. More>>
